Well, that happened. I'm a lot more broken up about this than I would have thought, especially considering that I suspected that this was coming soon.I discovered Discworld relatively late in life, but I quickly made up for lost time. There were 32 books out when I first read Mort (my personal first), and I read the remaining 31 in less than half a year. Ever since then I've reread the entire series (more or less) every time a new book came out. To sort of get in the mood. I played the MUD, the point-'n-click, and watched every live-action reproduction I could get my hands on. Terry's name on American Gods Good Omens is what made me read it, and that was my introduction to another one of my favorite authors whom I seem to have discovered a couple of decades after everyone else.His forms of humor and candor and irony are constantly in my thoughts, and I often find myself using examples of his writings to help make a point. (Just the day before yesterday I had a long discussion with my wife about narrativium).Better writers than I have eulogized Sir Terry all over the internet. This is just me saying that he will be missed.
